  • Patent number: 7717644
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stairs-type hydrophilic revetment block having seawater flow ports and a construction method thereof. The existing coastal breakwaters, embankment, revetments, etc. are constructed to pacify the sea areas. However, because of occlusiveness of their structure, seawater flow is significantly reduced and pollutants are accumulated without being diffused to the open sea. As a result, the self-cleaning action is interrupted and the benthic ecosystem is in danger of being destroyed due to oxygen deficiency as the accumulated organic materials are decomposed. And, the conventional structures are designed and constructed mainly to block waves in order to pacify the sea areas and protect harbor facilities.

  • Patent number: 7717643
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrophilic revetment block constructed on the slope of seashore, harbor, river, reservoir, dam, etc. Whereas conventional revetment blocks are focused on their individual functional advantages, the revetment block of the present invention offers a variety of functions, namely, space for plants, conservation of ecosystem and protection of lakeshore through wave dissipation and reduction of water flow rate at once. On the block is provided a space for plants. The block is constructed lower than the water surface to offer living space for fish. Projections are formed at the front bottom of the block to prevent collapse of a revetment block by waves or water flow. The projections serve the purpose of stirs, so that people may have easy access to the shore. The space for water outflow and fish growing dissipates the energy of the water which flowed in through the water inlets formed at the bottom of the block, thereby offering better stability.

  • Publication number: 20090205357
    Abstract: A refrigerator which allows a user to easily open a door of the refrigerator with a small force is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a main body having an upper storage compartment and a lower storage compartment defined on upper and lower sides, a door which slides to open and close any one of the storage compartments, a handle which is disposed at an upper portion of the door to be vertically rotatable, a plurality of push members which move to advanced positions from retreated positions in connection with a vertical rotation of the handle to separate the door from the main body, and an elastic member which is disposed between at least one of the push members and the door to restore the push members to the retreated positions when an external force is removed from the handle.

  • Publication number: 20080203874
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a body having a storage compartment, and a pair of pivotally rotatable doors provided at opposite sides of the body to open or close the storage compartment. Provided on an upper surface of the body are hinge covers to cover upper hinges of the respective doors and a top cover to prevent the swollen upper surface of the body from being exposed from the front side of the body. The hinge cover and the top cover are integrally formed with each other. In the refrigerator, a display to show the temperature of a storage compartment, the strength of cool air, and a door switch to detect whether the door is opened away from or closed towards the body are provided at a front plate of the top panel.

  • Publication number: 20080203739
    Abstract: A refrigerator capable of preventing the loss of cool air caused by successive closing of both refrigerating compartment doors. The refrigerator includes a body having a storage compartment, a pair of first and second doors provided at opposite sides of the body to open or close the storage compartment together, and a closing keeping unit provided between each door and the body, to prevent the first door, which is in a closed state, from being opened by a predetermined external force generated as the second door is closed, while allowing the first door to be opened by an external force exceeding the predetermined external force, thereby efficiently preventing the loss of cool air due to the unintentional opening of the closed door.

  • Publication number: 20080196439
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a refrigerator main body having a storage space; a door installed at the refrigerator main body to open and close the storage space; and a receiving device including a storage basket which is accommodated in the storage space and has a storage chamber to store a product and an auxiliary basket which is installed to be spaced from a bottom of the storage basket and has an insertion groove to receive a thin product such that the thin product is stored in the storage chamber in a standing state. According to the refrigerator, since a product having a large width and a small thickness can be stored in a standing state, it is possible to conveniently store a product such as a pizza box and efficiently use a storage space.
